Problem With Dell Streak 5 Restarting

I have just purchsed a second hand Dell Streak 5 on O2 and I was extremly happy with it until I tried to do a factory reset. The phone allowed me to go into th Factory Reset Option and everything seemed to be going ok, that is until the unit showed thep is sh O2 logo and then reset .. All the phone will know do on power show the Dell Logo for around 2 seconds and then power off and then back on again and continues with this loop ... I have managed to get to the O2 backdrop once after removing to battery for 10 minutes and then reinstalling it but then back to the loop ...

Please could anyone inform me if this problem can be solved or will I have to return the phone from where I purhcased it for a refund.

Thanks for any advise ..

    It sounds like you are having a boot loader issue. This requires a master reset using the hardware keys.

    Start with your device completely turned off (not trying to boot up again)

    1 Simultaneously press and hold the volume up button and volume down button .

    2. Without releasing the volume buttons, press and hold the power button, until the device turns on the configuration screen.

    3. Press the volume buttons to move the highlight bar on the screen to the Factory reset option.

    4. Press the Camera button to start the reset process.

    5. Wait for the device to reboot.

    I thought my phone would never work again. I read so many terrible stories. Thank you for posting this. I followed it exactly and it worked. God BLESS YOU! I am so in love with my phone I did not want to upgrade to the Galaxy Note which seems like the only next best alternative...I still love my Streak 5 more.

    My streak 5 will not reset when I try a factory reset. It doesn't respond. But it will boot up with the On button. Then after several minutes it will turn off displaying the dell logo, dead and unresponsive for a couple of hours. It goes blank and I can try it again but the same thing happens. Is there any reset button hidden on this

    piece of junk?

    I have the same issue, have tried most of the recovery and rom ...still it restarts...

    1.  changed the internal memory

    2. checked with other battery

    3. disabled 3g

    4. done factory reset

    Anyone has resolved this issue???

    So far understood, the frequency of restarts various depends on the roms and recovery ...certain roms works properly, other restart loops were frequent...

    Any suggestion would be helpful...
